December Highland HERO

Congratulations to Sam for being our December Highland HERO! We are proud of you, Sam!

Glasgow Scotties are Headed to the State Championship!

The Glasgow High School football team played for the state title Friday night. Before heading off to the big game, the team visited us at Highland. All the HES students lined the hallway with posters and Scottie chants.

Here is the team right before the big game. Glasgow ended up losing a hard-fought game to Covington Catholic High School but we are still very proud of our Scotties.

Mammoth Cave: Animal Adaptations

The park rangers from Mammoth Cave were back in our classroom this week. This time, they taught us all about animal adaptations.

Birthday Invitations

Just a heads-up, teachers were asked to relay this message to parents:

School-wide policy now states that students can not distribute private birthday party invitations at school.

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Mrs. Wyatt!

Our class celebrated Mrs. Wyatt's birthday on November 21 with a surprise party. We gave her a Willow Tree Angel and each student wrote an incredibly sweet letter to her explaining why they loved her. Below you can see the students reading their letters to Mrs. Wyatt. They did such a good job on their letters!!!

Family Literacy Night

Thursday, November 17, Highland held our annual Family Literacy Night. Hundreds came out for free pizza and drinks. Afterwards, students played "Turkey BINGO"! With only 10 BINGO winners the whole night, our class proved to have luck on our side! Our very own Maddie, Landon, and even Mrs. Morgan won! Maddie and Landon each took home a very large frozen turkey and a $10 Glasgow Chamber of Commerce gift certificate. They are pictured above with their certificates and turkeys.
